| Kelly Rowland, John Legend & Snoop Dogg HONOR Muhammed Ali At The "Power Of Love" Gala Posted: 20 Feb 2012 06:51 AM PST A star-studded list of entertainers gathered together over the weekend to honor Muhammed Ali's 70th birthday. See pics of Kelly Rowland, John Legend and Stevie Wonder inside..... Over the weekend, Kelly Rowland attended The Keep Memory Alive Foundation's "Power of Love Gala" celebrating Muhammad Ali's 70th birthday. The event was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada to benefit the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health and the Muhammad Ali Center. Kelly Rowland was clearly the belle of the ball (going through three outfit changes) as she performed a few of her hits along with a tribute to both Whitney and Mr. Ali "The Greatest Love Of All." Kelly's best look was this gold gown (which was decorated with gold rings). Music icon Stevie Wonder also played a few songs for the boxing great. He and Kelly also sang "The Greatest Love Of All" together. Snoop Dogg wore a beige vest with a picture of the boxing legend painted on the front. LL Cool J fittingly hit the stage and performed "Mama Said Knock You Out." "The Voice" judge Cee-Lo Green also brought his brand of flair to the gala. A very dapper John Legend also performed and later posed with actor Brad Garrett.

Two sources close to the Houston family told The Daily Beast that Bobbi Kristina slipped away after her mom's funeral to get high. Shortly after the funeral, Bobbi Kris went to dinner with the Houston family in Newark, NJ but soon slipped away saying saying she needed some time alone. But went Bobbi was gone for several hours, family got very concerned (as she'd already had two breakdowns). “Everyone was freaking out and calling Bobbi Kristina’s cell,” said one source. "It was so much commotion and activity after the funeral that Bobbi Kristina just slipped away. Ms. Cissy [Houston, Whitney’s mother] was beside herself.” The main point of tension is that Bobbi Kris may have a serious drug problem herself. "Cissy and others won’t admit out loud that Bobbi Kristina has a drug problem,” said the family friend. “But they know it and have been trying to keep her straight even before Whitney passed. But losing your mother and the life you’re accustomed to all in one day is enough to send anybody off the deep end.” The two sources confirmed that Bobbi Kristina was found at a hotel “getting high,” after the funeral and now some family members want to send her to rehab immediately. “It’s a horrible situation for everybody,” says the close family friend. “They tried to save Whitney, and it didn’t work. Now with Bobbi Kristina, they fear the same thing is happening again and they won’t be able to stop it either. Bobbi Kristina is all Ms. Cissy has left of Whitney. She’s so tired, but she’s ready to fight again to save her grandbaby.” Despite the two sources, however, a Houston family spokesperson would not confirm the story saying, "There was some confusion about Bobbi Kristina’s whereabouts last night for a short time, but she's OK. She needed some time alone. She is going through a very hard time as you can expect.” If she does indeed need help, I hope Bobbi Kris gets what she needs. So sad.
In other Whitney news, Whitney's body was laid to rest with a private burial in Westfield, New Jersey at Fairview Cemetery yesterday. She is buried next to her father, John Russell Houston, Jr.
